Answer:

The correct answer is:

if the sample size big and the sample variance is small (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size of a study is the group of subjects that are selected from the general population and is considered an accurate representation of the population. With a large sample size, the likelihood of type I and type II errors occurring reduces. Increasing sample size allows the researcher to increase the significance level of the finding because it increases accuracy in coverage of the universal set, hence the effect accurately mirrors what goes on in the whole group. However, smaller sample size, on the other hand, does not accurately mirror the whole larger group.

The sample variance is the difference between the observed value and the true(actual). It is a measure of deviation or variability between the results and the true value. A smaller variance means increase closeness to the true value hence increase in accuracy and statistical significance.

Therefore, when the treatment effect is small but the sample size is large and variance is small, then the result is statistically significant.

How do you check your answer for volume of a cylinder? Desperate need of answering
murzikaleks [220]
1. Make sure you're using the correct formula for the dimensions given. The usual formula gives volume in terms of radius and height. If you are given the diameter, the formula will be different, or you need to compute the radius before you use the formula.

2. Make sure you're using the appropriate value for π. Many calculators have the value built-in. Many problems posted on Brainly require the use of 3.14, which will give different answers. (One recent problem required the use of 3.) If your calculator doesn't have π built in, a reasonable value is 355/113, which is good to 7 significant figures.

3. Make sure the units you are using are compatible (generally, all the same). If your height is in one unit (say inches) and your diameter is in another unit (say centimeters), you need to do units conversion before you put the numbers in the formula. The result of putting your units in the formula with your numbers should be that you end up with units cubed. For example, for a radius of 2 cm and a height of 3 cm, the volume will be
.. V = π(2cm)^2*(3 cm) = 12π cm^3.

4. Compare the dimensions and the volume to things you know. You know the approximate size of a gallon jug, a 2 liter pop bottle, a 5-gallon bucket. Check your answer for reasonableness.

5. Make an estimate based on the dimensions. Round to 1 or 2 significant figures and make a guess as to the approximate result you should get. For this, you can use 3 for π, as you just want to be "somewhere in the ballpark" as opposed to being off by a factor of 10 or more. This requires a certain amount of number sense and knowledge of multiplication tables.

6. Make certain your calculator is being used correctly. If parentheses are involved, make sure you enter the closing parentheses--as opposed to letting the calculator put them in according to its own rules. If division or fractions are involved, make sure you have parentheses around the denominator in every case. 1/2*3 ≠ 1/(2*3) It can be helpful to use a calculator that shows you what it did. (The Google calculator does that, for example.)

7. Sometimes, it helps just to do the calculation twice (possibly in a different order). Inadvertent error can creep in even when you think you're paying attention.

8. If you're doing the math by hand, make use of all available techniques for checking your arithmetic.

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x + 10) + (5x + 18) = 180 \\ 8x + 28 = 180 \\ 8x = 152 \\ x =  \frac{152}{8}  \\ x = 19

Solve this for me (geometry) ? It asks if it’s yes or no.
zysi [14]

Answer:

Yes, it is

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached image

Required

Is AB a tangent to the circle

From the attached circle, we can see that AP is the radius of the circle P.

And by definition, a tangent touches the circle at only one point.

Since AB touches the circle at only point A, then AB is a tangent.

Find the volume of the square pyramid, given its slant height​
Reptile [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

base length b = 32 cm

slant height L = 30 cm

 

height h = √(L²-(½b)²)

= √(30²-0.25·32²)

≅ 25.3771550809 cm

 

volume V = (⅓)b²h

= (⅓)32²·25.38

≅ 8662.07 cm³
